No clue, but Crutchfield.com has a feature to show you what will fit in your vehicle, and their support staff is incredibly knowledgeable

Yeah usually but not in this instance they haven’t cracked one open yet. it appears to be two 3 1/2 inch speakers and two or three 6 x 9’s which seems kind of weird. even tried the dealer and manufacturer. My model did come with an alpine upgrade for some but I don’t have that. I just want to know for sure because I’m ordering I don’t want to tear down yet because I need it for work

Being as they're refreshing the Cherokee for the 2019 model year, I wouldn't imagine they changed the speaker configuration from the 2017 model year.

Worse comes to worst, you can always buy a set of speakers from them and if they don't fit, send 'em back.

And that is why I came here!!! However I did read multiple different things that’s why I needed your vice and I am ordering special the speakers were talking about 300 W RMS to trick this pony out. I am in my car 90 percent of the day so I’m thinking about a small lift it and the sound system I would like to do this once and do this right. I will say this trying to find a 3.5 inch two way speaker with over 75 Rms is kind of difficult

Oh yes and thank you I will order the rest of them from Crutchfield or sonic electronics and if I get it all ripped apart and they are incorrect I will send them back

As simple of a design as drum brakes are, they sure suck to work on.

Yup. That's why I converted mine to disc. Way easier to maintain.
